This paper aims at analyzing and reviewing the annual ring width of the Bosnian pine (Pinus Heldreichii Christ. Var. leucodermis Antoine Markgraf) that grows in Mount Strellca in Bjeshket e Nemuna in Kosovo. Parallel to the study of the annual ring width of the mentioned tree, we have also compared the multiplication level in the areas under observation. The width of growth rings is very important in measuring the multiplication level of the trees, especially when deciding upon the forestation of new areas and the set up of plantations with intensive cultures. From the tree processing perspective, the width of growth rings conditions all physical-mechanical traits and directly influences the usage of the tree.

Keywords: Bosnian pine, annual rings, growth, multiplication
